Match Details:

The 6th match of Men’s Cricket in the 2019 South Asian Games will be played between Bhutan and Bangladesh Under-23s at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.

The match starts at 9:15 AM local time (3:15 AM GMT) (8:45 AM IST).

Preview:

Bangladesh Under-23s won their opening game against the Maldives by a huge margin of 108 runs. They would be eager to replicate their form in the upcoming match against Bhutan as well. Their batting looks strong with the likes of Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hossain Shanto, who performed brilliantly in the previous match. In bowling, they have Afif Hossain, who will be key bowler for young Tigers.

Bhutan lost back to back two consecutive games in this tournament. Their batsmen have not performed well and have failed to score runs for their team. If they want to outclass Bangladesh U-23 then their top-order batsmen will have to come up with some convincing performances. However, Bhutan has some exciting talent, who can win crucial games for them.
